Flow structure and rock-breaking feature of the self-rotating nozzle for radial jet drilling

Abstract For improving the hole-enlarging capability, roundness and rock-breaking efficiency of the nozzle in radial jet drilling, a new structure of self-rotating nozzle was put forward. The flow structure and rock-breaking features of the self-rotating nozzle were investigated with sliding mesh mo...
